Cau, 40, allegedly called in eight bomb threats to United Airlines between October 2012 and January 2013, according to an 18-page plea agreement filed in federal court in California. Cau is expected to plead guilty to the charges next week.
Cau could serve a maximum of five years in prison and has agreed in his plea deal to pay $250,000 in restitution to United.
